Since every covered entity is unique, there’s no perfect way to compare two 340B programs point by point. However, when we compared two similarly sized DSH hospitals in the Midwest, serving similar geographic areas, we found that the program with a dedicated 340B program manager realized 19 times the compliant 340B savings of the covered entity without a dedicated program manager.
While a number of factors, including payer mix and prescribing patterns, can affect 340B program value for covered entities, we’ve consistently seen a similar ratio of success when there’s a dedicated 340B program manager in place.
